Maple Leaf StringsChaconne Craftsman Collection Viola 15.5 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Maple Leaf’s 15.5-inch Chaconne Craftsman Collection viola is directed primarily to the advancing student, while also being presented as a possible beginner instrument. It combines a seasoned maple neck, highly flamed maple back and sides, seasoned spruce top, ebony fingerboard, and hand-applied antiqued varnish. D'Addario Helicore strings are fitted. It is sold as an instrument only, so a bow and separate case need to be arranged for the complete setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- An advancing student seeking a 15.5-inch viola with maple, spruce, ebony, and D'Addario Helicore strings.
- A beginner starting with a model also positioned for continued student development.
Consider the trade-offs
